They have plenty of other work to do to bring their country to a modern standard.

BUT, the DID DO IT ALL. It was all done at Putins request and it was done for specific reasons. Every human does things for reasons...as does any state.

It would boggle the mind to suggest no Americans were involved when Manafort and others were taking that kind of money to lobby for Russia. The only real question is how many Americans were involved and how deeply have those involved penetrated our government, finance and elections.
But again, Donnie rushes to Twitter to scream, "NO COLLUSION" I air on the side of caution when it comes to anything he says. I believe the opposite. He is the Liar in Chief.

The indictment stated the Russians supported Bernie Sanders,
is Bernie now under investigation? Will the Dems cry foul on Bernie and call him out
for collusion?

Let's look at this logic.

Ever hear how time shares are sold?

Defense: "Everyone signed the papers and no one altered the papers after signing."

Prosecution: "But before the signing you took them all out and tried to get them all drunk."

Defense: "We didn't force any alcohol on them, and they could have already been drunk. Besides, some signed and were not drunk at all."

Prosecution: "But more people signed because you were giving the alcohol."

Defense: "Prove it!"

Prosecution: "We just arrested all the bartenders you hired."

Defense: "There is still no prove the alcohol caused more people to sign up for the time shares."

Two different actions. Yes, the bots supported Bernie. So what. But sure, they can and should look into Bernie to see if he helped them out.

Two quotes from Rosenstein's press conference:

1. "Again, there's no allegation in this indictment that any American had any knowledge. And the nature of the scheme was the defendants took extraordinary steps to make it appear that they were ordinary American political activists, even going so far as to base their activities on a virtual private network here in the United States so, if anybody traced it back to that first jump, they appeared to be Americans. "

2. "There's no allegation in the indictment of any effect on the outcome of the election."

So, still nothing to support the assertion that Donald Trump conspired together with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

After 18 months, literally nothing.

1. Trump did not collude
2. Mitt was right in 2012 about Russia being a geopolitical foe. Obama disagreed then

Defense: "Do you see him on the bank's video camera?"

Prosecution: "No, of course not. He was playing golf so he had an alibi."



So in such a leak friendly White House no such evidence of Trump working with Russians had yet come out. This is erring even funnier

Supporting Sanders was one of the most logical ways to draw independents away from Clinton.

The person that benefited was Trump.
